Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE:SEE) today announced that it is implementing a price increase of four percent for the majority of its North American Product Care division packaging products, effective March 1st, 2017.

​This price adjustment is in response to increases in the cost of resin and other raw materials that are expected during 2017, and to address the rise in other input costs such as labor, utilities, freight, and supplies.
